Unemployment claims fall to a pandemic low WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid fell last week to 498,000, the lowest point since the viral pandemic struck 14 months ago and a sign of the job market’s growing strength as businesses reopen and consum- ers step up spending. Thursday’s report from the Labor Department showed that applications declined 92,000 from a revised 590,000 a week earlier. The number of weekly job- less claims — a rough measure of the pace of layoffs — has declined significantly from a peak of 900,000 in January as employers have ramped up hiring. At the same time, the pace of applica- tions is still well above the roughly 230,000 level that prevailed before the viral out- break tore through the economy in March of last year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The top U.S general for Africa is warning that a growing threat from China may come not just from the waters of the Pacific but from the Atlantic as well. U . S . G e n . S t e p h e n Townsend, in an interview with The Associated Press, said Beijing is looking to establish a large navy port capable of hosting submarines or aircraft carriers on Africa’s western coast. Townsend said China has approached coun- tries stretching from Maurita- nia to south of Namibia, intent on establishing a naval facili- ty. If realized, that prospect would enable China to base warships in its expanding Navy in the Atlantic as well as Pacific oceans. “They’re looking for a place where they can rearm and repair warships. That becomes militarily useful in conflict,” said Townsend, who heads U.S. Africa Command. “They’re a long way toward establishing that in Djibouti. Now they’re casting their gaze to the Atlantic coast and want- ing to get such a base there.” Townsend’s warnings come as the Pentagon shifts its focus from the counterterror- ism wars of the last two decades to the Indo-Pacific region and threats from great power adversaries like China and Russia. The Biden admin- istration views China’s rapidly expanding economic influence and military might as Ameri- ca’s primary long-term securi- ty challenge. U.S. military commanders around the globe, including several who may lose troops and resources to bolster growth in the Pacific, caution that China’s growing asser- tiveness isn’t simply happen- ing in Asia. And they argue that Beijing is aggressively asserting economic influence over countries in Africa, South America and the Middle East, and is pursuing bases and footholds there. “The Chinese are outmaneu- vering the U.S. in select coun- tries in Africa,” said Townsend. “Port projects, eco- nomic endeavors, infrastruc- ture and their agreements and contracts will lead to greater access in the future. They are hedging their bets and making big bets on Africa.” China’s first overseas naval base was built years ago in Djibouti in the Horn of Africa and it is steadily increasing its capacity. Townsend said as many as 2,000 military person- nel are at the base, including hundreds of Marines who han- dle security there. “They have arms and muni- tions for sure. They have armored combat vehicles. We think they will soon be basing helicopters there to potential- ly include attack helicopters,” said Townsend. For some time, many have thought that China was work- ing to establish a Navy base in Tanzania, a country on Afri- ca’s eastern coast, that has had a strong, longstanding mili- tary relationship with Beijing. But Townsend said it appears there’s been no decision on that yet.
